Just bought an R/T (pics)

Steel blue looks great, I am debating between White and Steel Blue.

Have fun and enjoy your new car.

Thanks. I was thinking white as well.

The car is great so far. Everything is exactly as I have read here and the reviews: The center armrest slides way too easily, the glovebox cooler door also slides wayyyyy too easily and it's a bit low on torque (but, I am a 10 year Mustang GT driver!)

The price was great and I'm going to like the better gas mileage.

PS: It'g going back next week already for a slight rattle in the rear end. Something is loose back there. I don't think it's a big deal.

has anyone heard of this?

Congrats on the new ride. Good to see you convert. If you were looking for a mix of power and gas mileage, you should've waited for the SRT-4 Caliber. Good buy nonetheless, though.

Do you have a cage to make up for the weaker body due to the convertible?

No. But I did strenghten the frame by welding in subframe connectors.

It removed alot of the cowl shake. The doors are still aligned after 10 years.

sometimes if I don't close up the flip-down speakers ~just right~, they will rattle a bit. (never mind, if you don't have the MusicGate system.)

WONDERFUL!

Congratulations on the new ride. Cool pics too. That steel blue is a nice color. If I were doing it all over, I think that I might have chosen that color because of it's chameleon-like (sp) image.

Congratulations! I have one of those on order which should arrive in about 2 weeks. A few more photos and angles of your car appreciated The color of the rear angle is much better than the street shot in case you were using different cameras.

3dee,
your steel blue r/t looks great! That was my first choice color when I ordered in march. I was told the steell blue was late availability, so I went with an inferno red sxt. May have to upgrade to steel blue r/t, maybe when fwd comes out.

Hello, I just ordered my Steel Blue R/T last week, can't wait to see it in my driveway. Looks nice in real pix!
